The DRw6 specificity, which has a frequency of 11% in the Caucasian population, cannot be positively defined, since no monospecific allo-antiserum is available. This particular status among DR specificities led us to study the DRw6 haplotypes at the molecular level. We performed 2D-PAGE analysis of HLA-DR molecules in 44 different DRw6 haplotypes. The data were obtained from six homozygous typing cells, eight families informative for the segregation of the DRw6 haplotype, and 15 unrelated donors. Five unique beta-chain electrophoretic patterns were detected, indicating the existence of five structurally distinct DRw6 beta-chains. Each haplotype expresses one or two beta-chains. The different combinations of the DR beta-chains present in a single haplotype allow to characterize seven unique DRw6 haplotypes. In contrast to what has been previously found for DR2 and DR4, there is no DR beta-chain common to all the DRw6 cells. Correlation of the biochemical data with the recent serologic (DRw13 vs DRw14) and cellular (Dw9, Dw18, Dw19) splits of the DRw6 specificity will be discussed.
